I expect that so far as Retired Expats (from toubab lands are concerned   ,maybe they wouldn't consider it as politics.)
THE SCOPE of this REMINDER INFORMATION IS MUCH WIDER, encompassing those from Ecowas and other countries in the world who are living in Gambia and probably working here as well.GOOD IDEA I think there are many non Gambians who have successful businesses and are doing well in Gambia,SO LET THESE SUCCESSFUL NON GAMBIANS PAY EXTRA MONEY,most likely they can afford it,this "TAX" would give the administration of The Gambia more money to spend on development.
Snippet:
“It is for residence only; for those who wish to come for holidays,” he said, adding that the fee for residential permit A is D1,100 for ECOWAS nationals, whereas non-ECOWAS nationals in The Gambia need only residence and they are not to take up any employment.
Non ECOWAS citizens before obtaining the residential permit A need to obtain the alien ID card, which costs D1,500.
Residential permit B, PRO Bah said, allows individuals to reside in the country and take up self-employment or contract employment. Residential permit B costsD1,300 for ECOWAS nationals, who are not required to obtain the alien ID card.
For the non-ECOWAS nationals, the residential permit B fee is D1,800. However, before paying for it, they need to first obtain the alien ID card, which costs D1500.
All foreign nationals in the country that have taken up any employment, are self employed or on contract, without having the residential permit B are violating the Immigration Act.
He advised all aliens in the country to respect the laws of the land, and to regularise their status.
The Department of Immigration will not condone defaulters who fail to regularise their status, Bah said."
